As I said, the opponent needs 4 things to go right when you foul, as opposed to only one when you don't: making a three-pointer. (Actually, it's 5 things if you consider that they must hit the rim AND get the rebound.) If your players give up the offensive rebound AND the made shot, that's their fault, then you don't deserve to win. You have more control of rebounding than you do the shooting skill or luck of your opponent.

As for offensive rebounds on a FT, back when players could leave at the release, we gave the eventual state champion their only loss of the season by rebounding 3 of our missed FT's and scoring twice (4 pts). We won by three. We ran the 'loop' with our 2nd player on the lane while the first one took the D to the inside of the lane. Can't do that now when you only have 2 players on the lane. They don't even allow you to occupy the 4th spot anymore.

If 4 players can't get a rebound against 2 when they have inside position AND they have to wait for the ball to hit the rim, you need to evaluate your footwork and positioning.

I think the rule changes have almost completely taken away the strategy of the offensive FT rebound. When you could leave at the release, the defense had to maintain position (contact) a lot longer while waiting for the ball to hit the rim and come off.
